Wimboot Won't Load System Image Recovery from Windows Repair

[vphoebe]

Sorry it's been forever on this issue!! If you're still here, here's what I found between the two registries. This has to be the issue.

Booting from USB (and getting bmrui to load), these are a few registry keys in HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control

Code:

"SystemStartOptions"=" MININT  REDIRECT RDIMAGEOFFSET=8192 RDIMAGELENGTH=3161088 RDPATH=MULTI(0)DISK(0)CDROM(0)\\SOURCES\\BOOT.WIM"

"SystemBootDevice"="ramdisk(0)"

"FirmwareBootDevice"="multi(0)disk(0)cdrom(0)"

and here's those keys from wimboot

Code:

"SystemStartOptions"=" MININT  REDIRECT RDIMAGEOFFSET=8192 RDIMAGELENGTH=3161088 RDPATH=MULTI(0)DISK(0)RDISK(0)PARTITION(1)\\SOURCES\\BOOT.WIM"

"SystemBootDevice"="ramdisk(0)"

"FirmwareBootDevice"="multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)"

I'm thinking for some crazy reason it's trying to get back to the actual wim file (it's accessible when booting from USB), and it can't because wimboot doesn't mount the boot media as an accessible drive. Who knows why it needs to do this because obviously the wim is unpacked as the X drive.
